Back in the twenties, many New England towns had commons
with a band stand. Quite a crowd came to listen every
Saturday night. If only for a change from what little music
they had at home. The repertoire was 90% John Phillips Souza, definitely oompahpah. Hotdogs, popcorn, and and
lemonade were an added attraction. A place you could take
a girl to, without needing much money, nor anxiety on part
of her parents.
